Samsung To Sell 12-Inch Tablet This Year, Beating Apple To Retail

Apple (NASDAQ: AAPL) may have been the first company to sell 100 million tablets, but it seems that Samsung (OTC: SSNLF) will be the first to release a 12-inch device.

According to DigiTimes, the South Korean tech giant will release a 12.2-inch tablet (with a film-based capacitive touch solution) at the end of 2013.

This rumor is interesting because it follows the path of a previously rumored Samsung product: Galaxy Gear. Originally known as an everyday smart watch, the rumors for Galaxy Gear did not begin until other rumors claimed that Apple was developing a wearable computer.
